Making Great Summer Choices 8

Speaker: Ps. Mike Kirkpatrick

Bible reading: Luke 23:39-43

  • Jesus never came to give us what we think we want.
  • Jesus never came to give the religious leaders, what they thought they wanted.
  • Jesus never came to give the crowd or the criminal on the cross, what they thought they wanted.
  • He never came to make His followers healthy, or wealthy or happy, although it is true that some of us may receive some of all of those blessings in following Jesus, that is not what Jesus came for,
  • Jesus came to die, that’s why He was on the cross, Godman who is without sin came to die for our sins. So that we can be put right with God and set free.
